AIGATE Signal
Any PFI pin can externally input the AIGATE signal, which is not 
available as an output on the I/O connector.  The AIGATE signal can 
mask off scans in a data acquisition sequence.  You can configure the 
PFI pin you select as the source for the AIGATE signal in either the 
level-detection or edge-detection mode.  You can configure the polarity 
selection for the PFI pin for either active high or active low.  
In the level-detection mode if AIGATE is active, the STARTSCAN 
signal is masked off and no scans can occur.  In the edge-detection 
mode, the first active edge disables the STARTSCAN signal, and the 
second active edge enables STARTSCAN.
The AIGATE signal can neither stop a scan in progress nor continue a 
previously gated-off scan; in other words, once a scan has started, 
AIGATE does not gate off conversions until the beginning of the next 
scan and, conversely, if conversions are being gated off, AIGATE does 
not gate them back on until the beginning of the next scan.
SISOURCE Signal
Any PFI pin can externally input the SISOURCE signal, which is not 
available as an output on the I/O connector.  The onboard scan interval 
counter uses the SISOURCE signal as a clock to time the generation of 
the STARTSCAN signal.  You must configure the PFI pin you select as 
the source for the SISOURCE signal in the level-detection mode.  You 
can configure the polarity selection for the PFI pin for either active high 
or active low.
The maximum allowed frequency is 20 MHz, with a minimum pulse 
width of 23 ns high or low.   There is no minimum frequency limitation.
